The long prairie grass swayed inthe hot summer sun. The young

American Indian man, fasting andpraying as he watched the grassdance in the wind, soon saw him-self dancing in a similar manner.

But how could this be, since hehad been born without the full useof his legs? The Medicine Man inhis village interpreted his vision.

The boy asked his mother tomake an outfit in which to dance

using the prairie grass. He wascovered from shoulder to anklewith long, thick, bright multi-col-ored fringes made of yarn or rib-bon.

He showed his father how hewould dance, using much shoulder,arm and head movements.

His footwork would appear likehe was stumbling. A song was com-posed for him. He showed the vil-lage his style of dance.

This is how the grass dance orig-inated, according to American In-dians in the Northern Plains.

The grass dance is one of thedance styles common at a modernpowwow.

While a powwow is defined as agathering of American Indians andcan take place for many reasons, itis often associated with dance.

Each session of a wacipi (theLakota word for powwow, pro-nounced wah chee pea) beginswith the grand entry.

The eagle staff and various flagslead the way into the dance arena.The flags represent nations, fami-

The dancing feet of the powwow

lies and communities.When the eagle staff is brought

into the area, powwow etiquetterequires spectators to stand andremove their hats in respect.

Wacipi are open to visitors, buteveryone attending should followproper etiquette.

Veterans have an integral partin powwows as they are honoredby leading the dancers into thearena, said Francis Whitebird of

Saint Francis, an Indian educatorand former director of the SouthDakota Office of Tribal Relations.

Once all the dancers are in thedance arena and while the specta-tors are still standing, the flags areraised and the flag song is sung.

This is followed by a veteranshonoring song.

The master of ceremonies is thevoice of the wacipi. This personkeeps the singers, dancers and thegeneral public informed as to whatis happening.

The oldest form of dancing is thetraditional dance. The men dancedin the middle of the dance arenaand the women stood on the side,according to Whitebird.

In the mid to late 1950s, theshawl dance for women and thefancy dance for the men madetheir appearance in Lakota coun-try. The women joined the menand danced in the middle of thedance area, he said.

The mens northern traditionalstyle of dance was a form of story-telling in which each warrior acted

out deeds committed during a bat-tle or hunt.

Mens fancy dance is the mostcontemporary style of dance. It isthe most strenuous and athletic ofthe dances.

The dance is fast and featuresjumps and twirling. The regalia issaid to represent the rainbow spir-its with its bright colors and flyingfeathers and ribbon.

The womens traditional dancerequires enormous stamina, con-centration and grace. Dancersstand on the outer edge of thedance arena.

They barely move their feet andgently bend their knees as theymove up and down in rhythm withthe drum.

Originating with the Ojibwe, thewomens jingle dress dance is ahealing dance.

According to one legend aboutthe jingle dress, a medicine manwas given a vision in which he sawhis daughter and three of herfriends dancing in dresses adornedwith jingles.

The jingle dress is made of acloth, velvet or leather baseadorned with jingles made out of ashiny metal, usually chewing to-bacco lids.

The dance is in a side-step

fashion designed to incorporate thesound of the jingles by allowingthem to move.

The fancy shawl dance is themost modern of the womens dancestyles.

It began when women startedwearing their shawls instead ofdraping them over their armswhen dressed in their regalia.Fancy does not refer to the shawl,but to the foot work which involves

Modern dance.

kicks, twirls and fast movement.The music in a wacipi comes pri-

marily from the drum groups whocircle the arena and play large,specially designed drums and singtraditional songs.

The clothing worn by dancers isreferred to as regalia, never cos-tumes.

Good guests at a wacipi do nottouch the dancers regalia. Themaster of ceremonies will makeannouncements about etiquetteand the types of dances being per-formed.

Indian dancing almost fadedout until contest dancing appearedin the mid-1960s.

The interest in money and danc-ing caught like wildfire and aresurgence in dancing occurred,Whitebird said.

What one sees at a powwow aredancing feet, colorful regalia andsmiling faces.

A flurry of thunderstormssparked several small wildfiresthroughout the Black Hills Na-tional Forest on Thursday, July 4prompting Federal, State and localfire crews to take immediate ac-tion to contain and control the in-cidents.

Matters were complicated fur-ther by a couple of small campfiresleft burning and unattended.

The largest wildfire, the Horse

Trap Fire, occurred in very ruggedForest Service terrain near Min-nekahta Junction on Highway 18.

While this fire was initially esti-mated at 3.5 acres, gusty windscaused the fire to grow to 11 acresovernight.

As of Friday, July 5 the fire wasestimated at 20 percent contained,with control estimated sometimetomorrow.

Other lightning-caused South-ern Hills fires starting last nightincluded:

The Red Star Fire, occurringnear Pringle and burning a tenthof acre

The 313 Fire, burning a thirdof an acre near Carrol Creek Road

The Richardson Fire, locatedwest of Highway 89 near Pleasant

Valley

Wildfire threat still persistsAll three of those incidents were

located on Forest Service land andwere quickly contained and con-trolled by responding Federal,State and local resources.

Additionally, two separate camp-fires were left burning and unat-tended on Forest Service land inthe Central Hills, but were imme-diately put out upon detection byresponding Federal, State andlocal resources.

In the Northern Hills, the Dog-house Fire burned in an area threemiles southwest of Crow Peak,while the Grand Canyon fire waslocated between Grand Canyonand Wagon Canyon along theSouth Dakota/Wyoming border.

Both fires were located on ForestService land, grew to less than atenth of an acre in size, and werequickly contained and controlledby responding Federal, State andlocal resources.

Visitors on the forest are re-minded to please make sure yourcampfires are dead-out and cold tothe touch before leaving them un-attended.

Also, wet forests can dry quicklyand fires can still burn when com-bined with significant amounts ofrain.

We have also been blessed to re-ceive some more much needed rainto keep things green.

Wasta WanderingsSubmitted by

Lloyd & Margee WilleyWastas July 4th, Lifes lessons:

the rain that pounds down on yourparade may be the same rain thatputs out the fire on your neighborsproperty.

The rain that delayed our pa-rade for ten minutes did put outthe fire on the property of Malcolmand Nola Price.

David Humphrey, driving theQuinn fire truck, left the parade

line-up and headed out but re-ceived the call that the fire wasout.

Darren Nachtigall waited pa-tiently on the hotel front porch andcommented on how badly weneeded the rain and how he wasenjoying it!

Freddie Ferguson handed horsecandy to anyone near and keptSparky content.

No grumbling, no whining out ofthese South Dakotans who showedup here on the Day of Independ-ence!

On the back porch were CelineTrask, Parade Marshal, and hercrew, sisters Julie and Gemma,sidekick Emily Linn and bannerbearers, Kassandra Linn andMaria Trask. Morris and Shirriseand baby Laken were also there,as well as Kelly Linn and JamyWilliams and baby Mavrick. Theywere content to visit and watch therain!

Dick Hadlock reported his raingage had one half inch, (each). Sohe was questioned if he had threerain gages with one half inch eachdid that total one and one halfinches?

Our flag bearers, MelanieWeber, Billie and Katy Humphreyfound a good spot under FayeBryans tree. Faye had her muleready to go, but I think I saw herwaiting on her porch!

The rain just seemed to improvepeoples sense of fun it wasgreat! Anne Jo Clark from thePen-nington County Courant, was pres-ent to take photos for the newspa-per and while some ran for cover,some just hung out.

Ron Racicky, wife Joan and momNatalie were enjoying the JuniorNew Underwood Fire Departmentand drivers pint size fire truck

and big sister (probably) with thejob of carrying the banner an-nouncing same. Great kids!

Thank you all and specialthanks to DeLynn Willets forbringing Good Samaritan resi-dents to view the parade and thento join the line-up! What troopers!

The parade was ready to marchat 10:40 ten minutes late but agreat morning! Lunch in the parkand games after and talent showthat evening finished the day.

ings to keep me smiling and full ofJuly 4th memories.

We must look deep into our livesto see what our true potential is.Each of us has an incredibleamount of untapped potential, andit is definitely to our advantage todo whatever we can to tap into thatpotential so we can be the best wecan be. Imagine the good each of uscould do in this world if we were tobe able to step out of the muck ofmediocrity and begin tapping intomore of our human potential.

Many times in a week it c omes tomy attention that there is a needfor some "quantum leaps" in myown personal and professionalgrowth if I am going to be the per-son I want to be. As a leader in myhome and in my business, I mustcontinually and consistently chal-lenge myself to change and con-

tinue to grow in these areas-evenwhen it hurts.

Changing for the better is a goaleach of us should be striving afteron a daily basis, and is a great placeto start tapping into ones potential.Our goal is to be able to honestlysay: "Every day in every way I amgetting better and better!"

Often this growth-and the abilityto live up to our fullest potential-can only occur when we come to theplace where we are willing to giveup those things that we have cometo enjoy, out of habit, that we knoware not the best for us. (Believe me,there is quite a list of these kinds ofthings in my life.) Making effectivechange is a process that involvestransforming our thinking aboutthese "second-best" habits and atti-

tudes and a willingness to replacethem with the healthiest and mostpositive habits possible. Even if weonly take baby steps to our goal,this is much better than staying inthe muck of mediocrity.

Today, consider taking a step ortwo to get out of the muck. If youfind that you are "stuck in themuck" review your priorities in life.Stop making wrong choices andstart making right ones. Start read-ing things that are good for you toread. Give of yourself to others.Whatever you do, don't stay stuckin the muck. Build yourself a lifethat is worthy, focused and produc-tive, and never allow yourself to besatisfied with anything less thanbeing your best.

Get Out of the Muck

She worked her way throughhigh school by being a mother'shelper to the Bartholmew familyand roomed at the old WinchesterHotel.

Shirley Burns introduced her toHomer Burns at a dance inMilesville and they married severalmonths later. Dancing remained alifelong source of happiness. Jeanand Homer had four children:Bobby, Jack, Charlotte and Mara-lynn.

Jean took great pride in herhomemaking skills. Keeping herhome clean and tidy was of greatimportance to her. In fact, hernephews were pretty sure thatwhen she wiped their faces there

was Clorox on the washcloth! Sheloved making pies, bread, jelly, andpickles. Her garden was her specialpassion. Canning and freezing theproduce gave her great joy. Herhobbies included embroidering andmaking rugs. A local lady whoroomed with Jean and Homerwhen she went to high school, re-called that Jean always "freshenedup" and changed her housedress

when it was time for Homer tocome home from work.

A true child of the 1930s, Jeanfrugally saved and stored anythingthat might have value or serve apractical purpose in the future.When faced with a new domesticchallenge there was always somestored item that could be modifiedor adapted to solve the problem.The variety of uses for a popsiclestick was endless! No need to runout and buy something new!

In her younger years, she wasactive in community efforts to im-prove the quality of life in Philip.

Among her activities she served asthe first president of the hospitalauxiliary.

When Homer died suddenly, shecarried on with her family respon-sibilities since her four childrenwere all still at home. In addition,she ran Homer's business with the

help of Red Couch.Howard Pihlaja, Jean's compan-

ion of many years, survives her.Jean is also survived by her chil-dren, Bobby (Gerry) Sloat, Jack(Marlene) Burns, Charlotte (Larry)Gabriel and Maralynn Burns.

Facts about South DakotaEmployer Mandate Delay Sig-

nals Larger Problems for Oba-maCare

Recently, the Obama adminis-tration announced its plans todelay implementation of one of thekey components of the presidentssignature health care legislation,the employer mandate.

This provision, which mandatesfinancial penalties to businesseswith more than 50 employees thatfail to provide government-ap-proved health insurance to its em-ployees, will be delayed from 2014until 2015.

For more than three years, Pres-ident Obama has been assuringthe American people that provi-sions in ObamaCare such as theemployer mandate will help lowerpremium costs and allow Ameri-cans to keep the insurance theypreferred.

Yet, businesses across SouthDakota and the rest of the countryhave lamented that the legislationis stifling hiring decisions and tak-ing away financial resources thatwould normally be invested intheir business.

According to a WellsFargo/Gallup Small BusinessIndex survey, nearly four in 10small business owners are holding

back hiring because of costs asso-ciated with implementing Oba-maCare.

Not only does the health carelaw mandate coverage for employ-ees, but the law also includes aprovision that mandates employ-ers include certain government-de-termined essential benefits forany employer-sponsored health

plan, leaving almost no flexibilityfor an employer to determine whatis best for his or her employees.

Many of these required benefitsincrease the cost of plans for em-ployers and employees alike.

According to a recent Gallup pollfrom June of 2013, 52 percent ofrespondents said they disapproveof ObamaCare, up from 48 percentlast fall. The same poll revealedthat for every one person who be-lieves they will be better off underObamaCare, two believe they willbe worse off.

Opposition to the presidentshealth law is growing, and willcontinue to grow, as Americans re-alize that the law is built upon bro-ken promises that will result inhigher health care costs and moretaxes.

While I am pleased that busi-nesses will be shielded for anotheryear from the onerous and costlyrequirements associated with em-ployer mandate, the delay providesfurther evidence that ObamaCareis not the solution to our healthcare problems and that this mas-sive expansion of government is astep in the wrong di rection.

Rather than unilaterally break-ing a law that the president andhis allies in Congress proposed,

the administration should haveworked with Congress to devise asolution.

Its time to repeal this brokenlegislation and replace it with realhealth care reforms that will give

Americans access to the healthcare they need, from the doctorthey choose, at a lower cost.

70 yars agoA delegation from Cottonwood

and vicinity held a protest meetingin the W.R.E.A. office Mondayevening. These folks feel that theyare being purposely left out fromthe completion of their REA lines.They claim membership in the As-sociation almost since its very be-ginning and feel that they shouldhave preference over those living

north of Box Elder. Many of thosepresent Monday night told thatthey had gone to considerable ex-pense getting their places wired toreceive electricity over a year ago.

The Wall firemen were breakinga record as the Courant was goingto press last week. Before theywere able to get their fire equip-ment home from one fire they werecalled to another. Fire Chief Con-nolly believes this to be a newrecord for the Wall Fire Depart-ment. The first alarm was sent inwhen the pump house of the MillerHotel caught fire from an electricalshort circuit. Some oiled ragscaused considerable smoke to pourfrom the building. The damagewas confined simply to that of theelectric pump motor. The secondfire about fifteen minutes latercame when the Floyd Flattsbrooder house caught fire. The loss

there amounted to thirty-fivechicks and the tramping down oftheir garden by the firemen andtheir equipment.

Better than half an inch of rainfell in the course of a few minutesin Wall, Sunday afternoon. Thissame twisting and heaving cloudwhich brought the downpour hereproduced devastating hail east ofQuinn and developed into a tor-nado between Cottonwood andPhilip. The hail storm was cen-tered over the farms of MerleFarnsworth and Russell Kitter-man about four miles east ofQuinn. Windows on the northsides of both their homes weresmashed even through the screens.Stones an hour after the stormwere so large around that youwere unable to grip them with oneoutspread hand. Hail as large asany grapefruit that he had everseen, is Tony Krebs description of

the hail. Ike Kelly claims that hesaw stones as large as saucers.Chunks as large as hens eggs anhour after they fell were claimed tohave been seen by Mrs. Norton.The prize description, however,came from Herman Melchert, whowitnessed a piece of ice as large asa water pail.

60 yars ago Quinn: Mrs. C. E. Lyle has an-nounced the Lyle Cafe will closeJune 1. Mrs. Lyle has operated thebusiness for several years and clos-ing the business will leave Quinnwithout either a cafe or hotel.There has been no indication of apurchaser.

FINANCIAL FOCUSDON'T GeT TRAmPLeD BY

THe "HeRD"

Richard Wahlstromwww.edwardjones.com

Every year in early July, thou-sands of people run with thebulls in Pamplona, Spain. Whilethe event is exciting, it is also haz-ardous, and many runners havegotten badly injured over theyears. As an investor, you may find

that running with the herd is dan-gerous to you, too because ifyoure constantly following whateveryone else is doing, your own fi-nancial goals could end up gettingtrampled.

The urge to run with the herd, orfollow the crowd, may have beenhard-wired into our psyches, ac-cording to anthropologists. In pre-historic times, running with thepack may have helped people min-imize danger or increase theirchances for finding food. But today,there are far fewer rewards for fol-lowing a herd mentality espe-cially in investing.

For example, consider what hap-pens when the financial marketsgo through a period of volatility.

Virtually every time this happens,many investors flock to gold, ap-parently believing that the shinyyellow metal will always be valu-

able and that its price will neverdrop. Yet, the fact is that goldprices, like those of other financialassets, do fluctuate. Furthermore,certain types of gold-based invest-ments can be quite risky in theirown right.

What other follow the herdmovements should you avoid whenyou invest? For one thing, try tostay away from feeding frenzies.If you look back about 15 yearsago, you may remember the buzzsurrounding speculative technol-ogy stocks many of which werecompanies that had futuristicnames but lacked some useful ele-ments, such as profits or businessstrategies. For a few years, theprices of these companies soared,but in 2000 and 2001, the dot-com bubble burst, splattering in-vestors with big losses that wereeither irreversible or, at the least,

took years from which to recover.The herd mentality often applieseven when investors know theright moves to make. To illustrate:One of the most basic rules of in-vesting is buy low, sell high and yet many investors do theexact opposite. When prices drop,they sell, so that they can cut their

losses even though they may beselling investments that, whiletemporarily down, still havestrong potential. On the otherhand, when an investments pricehas shot up, these same investorswill often keep buying moreshares, hoping to reap even biggergains even if the investment hasnow become quite expensive, asmeasured by the price-to-earningsratio, and has little upside poten-

tial remaining.Instead of emulating other in-

vestors, think about your own fi-nancial goals and create a viablestrategy for achieving them, tak-ing into account your risk toler-ance and time horizon. Look forquality investments and hold themfor the long term. Dont be discour-aged by the inevitable marketdownturns, but be ready to adjustyour portfolio as needed. Above allelse, be patient and disciplined, al-ways keeping your eye on your ul-timate objectives.

It can feel comfortable whenyoure in the midst of a herd butit can lead you to places where, asan investor, you dont want to go.Steer clear of the crowds and goyour own way.
